May pledges action on Hillsborough spy claims

The police watchdog will pursue concerns that families of Hillsborough victims were spied on if evidence emerges, British Home Secretary Theresa May has said.

May said the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) had received no formal complaint or allegation but was aware of the concerns.

The IPCC is conducting its biggest ever investigation which focuses largely on police actions after the tragedy that left 96 football fans dead, MPs heard.
